| Description | According to the National Institutes of Health, immunodeficiency disorders may affect any part of the immune system. Most commonly, such a condition occurs when specialized white blood cells called T or B lymphocytes (or both) do not work as well as they should, or when the body doesn't produce enough antibodies. This activity is supported in part by educational grants from Merck and Astellas. |
